Rece Davis, the host of ESPN's "College GameDay," will be the highlighted speaker at the 10th anniversary of Landmark Church's Gridiron Kickoff today at the church's LIFEcenter.

Davis, who has been with ESPN since 1995 and has served previously as the host of "College Football Final," was also the first speaker at the inaugural Gridiron Kickoff in 2006.

In addition to his new position on "College GameDay," he will remain the host of the network's "College GameDay" basketball road show. Joining Davis this year at the event will be former Alabama head coach Gene Stallings and Auburn athletic director Jay Jacobs. Stallings and Jacobs will sit down with local sports radio personalities Doug Amos and Charlie Trotman for one-on-one discussions about college football, with Stallings being interviewed by Amos and Jacobs by Trotman.

The cost of the men's event is $15, which will include a barbecue dinner and a 2015 laminated SEC helmet schedule. The food lines will open at 5 p.m., with the program set to begin at 6. Tickets for the event are limited, and may be purchased at the church office located at 1800 Halcyon Boulevard or online at www.landmarkchurch.net.

"When we started this event 10 years ago we had no idea how impactful it would be in our community and how God could use college football to bring glory to Himself," said Buddy Bell, the senior minister at Landmark. "We were honored to have Rece here 10 years ago, and even more blessed to have him back for our 10th anniversary. The event has annually been put on by our men's ministry, and has served as a wonderful outreach tool for our church. We're obviously very excited about this year's program, just as we have been for the past 10 years."
